Salman Khan: The Bollywood Star Has Been Sentenced To 5yrs In Jail


Bollywood superstar Salman Khan has been sentenced to five years in jail for crashing his car into a group of homeless people, killing one man.
A judge in India convicted the 49-year-old of culpable homicide over the hit-and-run, which happened at the end of a night out drinking in Mumbai in 2002.
Khan, who had blamed his driver for the crash, faced a maximum sentence of 10 years.
Khan, who has starred in more than 100 movies and TV shows, had pleaded not guilty.
Bollywood studios could now lose more than $31m (£20m), as they may be forced to cancel the blockbusters Khan was due to appear in.
The case has sparked debate over the judicial process in India, with some criticising how rich and powerful defendants can circumvent justice even after a heinous crime.
Khan is likely to apply for bail and launch an appeal, but because the sentence is more than three years the court has no jurisdiction to grant bail.

Ace broadcaster, Funmi Iyanda appointed United Nations gender equality champion


The United Nations (UN) has just appointed Nigerian broadcaster, Funmi Iyanda as one of the global organisation’s gender equality champions, as it celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995.
The gender equality champions are described by the UN as “women and men who have made gender equality and women’s empowerment their cause and mission in life.”
Funmi Iyanda expressed her delight on Twitter:
Concerning Funmi Iyanda, who the UN describes as using the airwaves to galvanise equality, the organisation said:
“Award-winning journalist, broadcaster and TV personality, Funmi Iyanda hosts “Talk with Funmi,” a show that traverses her native country of Nigeria talking to people across society about the issues that matter most to them. Popular throughout the country, she was named one of 2015’s 20 Youngest Power African Women by Forbes magazine, and also as one of the World Economic Forum’s Young Global Leaders. She has made it her mission to encourage women to be vocal across all spheres of life, including in the 2015 elections. From being the Tutu Fellow at the prestigious African Leadership Institute to a fellowship at the ASPEN Institute’s African Leadership Initiative, her tireless work has generated many honours.” 
 Funmi is also quoted to have said:
“Gender inequality is humanity’s wilful handicap. It makes no sense. The full evolution of our species will never occur without equal participation.”
Congratulations to Funmi Iyanda.

8 More Nigerians To Be Executed In Indonesia - Group Alerts FG


A Group, United Nigerians In Diaspora, UNID, has called on the Federal Government to prevail on the Indonesian government to stay action on its plans to execute eight more Nigerian citizens for drug related offences.

Briefing newsmen in Lagos, the group’s president, Mr. Paschal Okolie, condemned what it described as the poor attitude of the government towards the recent execution of four Nigerians in Indonesia.

Okolie who gave names of those awaiting further execution as, Michael Titus Igwe, Kingsley Okonkwo, Uchenna Onyewuru, Eugene Ape, Hunphery Ejike, Obinna Nwajiagu, Benjamin Onuoha and Ikenna Abanukwu, said, ”Nigerian Embassy in Indonesia is longer concerned with passport renewals than the welfare or security of Nigerians. Those Nigerians killed were not giving fair trial, there is language barrier which made it impossible for them to defend themselves properly, Nigerian embassy did not even send representatives to court to assist them, so they were left at the mercy of Indonesia which was bent on killing them.”

‘’Most times Nigerians are thrown into prisons for more than four months without anyone knowing about it. They are tortured and some even die in the process. The way a country treats her citizens, is a reflection of how the citizens will be treated in foreign lands. Therefore, we feel it is high time our government rose to the occasion to ameliorate the plight of its citizens.’’
We use this opportunity to appeal to the youth, to beware of the kind of friendships they keep as well as activities they engage themselves. One of the reasons there are many young Nigerians in prisons in different countries of the world today, is due to get rich quick syndrome, fast track. But in the end, they lose everything including their lives.”

Footballer Emmanuel Adebayor Clears The Air On Several Allegations Laid On Him By His Family


31-year-old striker, Emmanuel Adebayor was in the news last year for allegedly calling his mother a witch and kicking her out of his house. His other family members also accused him of not taking care of them. 

The footballer carefully took time to reveal all that happened between himself and his family via his Facebook page. 
Read below :



A couple years ago, I bought a house in East Lagon (Ghana) for $1.2 million. I found it normal to let my older sister, Yabo Adebayor stay in that house. I also allowed my half brother (Daniel) to stay in the same house. A few months later, I was on vacation and decided to go to that house. At my surprise, I saw many cars in the driveway. In fact, my sister decided to rent out the house without me knowing. She also kicked Daniel out of that house. Note that the house had about 15 rooms. When I called her and asked for explanation, she took about 30 minutes to abuse and insult me over the phone. I called my mother to explain the situation and she did the same as my sister. This same sister says I am ungrateful. Ask her about the car she is driving or anything she is selling today?

My brother Kola Adebayor, has now been in Germany for 25 years. He travelled back home about 4 times, at my expense. I fully cover the cost of his children's education. When I was in Monaco, he came to me and asked for money to start a business. Only God knows how much I gave him. Where is that business today?

When our brother Peter passed away, I sent Kola a great amount of money so he could fly back home. He never showed up at the burial. And today that same brother (Kola) is telling people that I am involved in Peter's death. How? He is the same brother who went and told inaccurate stories about our family to "The Sun" in other to take some money. They also sent a letter to my Club when I was in Madrid so I could get fired.

When I was in Monaco I thought it would be good to have a family of footballers. So I made sure my brother Rotimi gets into a football academy in France. Within a few months; out of 27 players, he stole 21 phones.

I would not say any anything about my brother Peter Adebayor because he is not here today. May his soul rest in peace. 
My sister Lucia Adebayor keeps telling people that my dad told me to bring her to Europe. But what would be the purpose to bring her to Europe ? Everyone is here for a reason. 
I was in Ghana when I received the news about my brother Peter being seriously ill. I drove the fastest I could to Togo in order to meet him and help. When I arrived, my mother said I could not see him and I should just give the money and she would solve everything. Only God knows how much I gave her that day. People are saying I didn't do anything to save my brother, Peter. Am I a fool to drive 2 hours to Togo for nothing?

I organized a meeting in 2005 to solve our family issues. When I asked them about their opinion, they said I should build each family member a house and give each of them a monthly wage. 
Today I am still alive and they have already shared all my goods, just in case I die. 
For all these reasons, it took very long for me to set up my foundation in Africa. Every time I try to help the people in need, they had to question me and all of them thought it was a bad idea. 
If I am writing this, the main purpose is not to expose my family members. I just want other African families to learn from this. Thank you.

Salman Khan: Bollywood actor found guilty of killing homeless man in hit-and-run


Bollywood star Salman Khan has been found guilty of killing a homeless man in a hit-and-run in Mumbai.
Khan was charged with culpable homicide over the 2002 incident, where five homeless people including the victim were run over. Three were also seriously injured.

Prosecutors accused Khan pf slamming into the homeless people after losing control of his Toyota Land Cruiser following an evening spent drinking at an upmarket bar.

The actor claimed his driver had been driving at the time but a judge in the Mumbai court on Wednesday ruled Khan was behind the wheel and had been drinking before the crash.

His driver testified in court last month that he had been behind the wheel and crashed the vehicle because a tyre had burst, AFP reports.

However, a constable attached to his security team contradicted this version of events and said Khan was intoxicated and lost control of the car.

Khan also faces charges of negligent driving and causing grievous harm to the victims, according to the Press Trust of India.

He could be sentenced to up to 10 years in prison. The 49-year-old can appeal the decision, meaning the case could drag on for years.

Khan has appeared in more than 80 Hindi-language films during his 27-year career. The Associated Pressreports that he also has several films in the pipelines and projects worth an estimated 2.5 billion rupees (£26 million).

Diddy tops Forbes list of 'Hip-Hop's Wealthiest Artists 2015'


Forbes has unveiled its list of hip-hop's five wealthiest artists for 2015 and it was a big battle between Dr. Dre and Diddy.

After selling off his Beats By Dre headphone line to Apple, the super producer pocketed $500 million after taxes to bring his net worth to an estimate $700 million. Still, he's not the richest man in hip-hop. Diddy is, according to Forbes, with an estimated net worth of $735 million.

Diddy's empire includes huge stakes in his TV network Revolt, clothing line Sean John, alkaline water brand Aquahydrate, and new tequila DeLeon, while Dre's overall net worth is credited to the nine-figure payout he received from Apple's acquisition of Beats.

Jay Z comes in third with an estimated net worth of $550 million, due to assets such as Roc Nation and his Armand De Brignac champagne brand.

50 Cent comes in fourth with $155 million, hoping to repeat the success of the Vitaminwater sale, via stakes in the SMS Audio headphones line, Effen Vodka and Frigo underwear.

Closing out the list is Birdman with $150 million, due to the success of his Cash Money Records empire. However, his overall number is down from $160 in 2014, due to rumors that many of its big acts plan on leaving, most notably, Lil Wayne.

Now you know who the wealthiest hip hop artists are at the moment.

Abortion Can Lead To Cancer - FACH warns


The Foundation for Africa Cultural Heritage (FACH) president, Dr Nkechi Asogwa has warned that abortion can lead to breast cancer in women.  According to her many cases of breast cancer have been linked to the aftermath of an abortion.
“When you terminate a pregnancy you end many ongoing processes in the body such as the preparation of breast for the secretion of milk. So the tissues that were cut off suddenly would become fragile and they can trigger the formation of cancerous cells in the breast.
‘’There are about five health implications attached to most of these drugs and that was why they were banned in the West. But here, no one is asking questions, ’’ she said.

Sambisa forest onslaught: Rescued women, children now 1,000


With about three weeks to the May 29, 2015  time frame given by the military to totally clear Sambisa forest of the remnants of the Boko Haram terrorists, it was yesterday,gathered that the number of women, young ladies and children rescued by special forces has hit 1,000, Vanguard reports.

Military sources disclosed that consequent on the pursuit of the terrorists and the sustained air and land bombardments, the terrorists have become tired of running away with many of the women particularly the younger ladies still in the possession.

The attempt to continue running with the ladies is made worse by the fact that the limited vehicles and trucks in their possession with which they have been ferrying the women and girls, have become a problem following the bursting of their fuel supply source.

Stella Damasus’ beau, Daniel Ademinokan speaks on cheating, marriage & sex


Every Monday, star actress Stella Damasus presents a program, ‘Undiluted with Stella Damasus’- Hard talk. No barriers. No limitations, on i2Radio where she brings guests to talk about various issues. This week, her guest was Daniel Ademinokan, her partner, a producer who was formerly married to actress Doris Simeon. One of the highlights of the program was when Stella revealed what Daniel means to him. 

In her words,” ‘Today I have Daniel Ademinokan as my guest and I condiser him the best Director out there. And for all those who are dying to hear this, Daniel is the love of my life’. The theme of their discussion on Monday was ‘What Men want Women to know in a relationship’. 
Excerpts of their discussion on air:
STELLA: Are men are as emotional as women?
DANIEL: I believe that men are as emotional as women but they are trained to be macho about it. Men have more control over their emotions than women. Men just don’t react to it the way women do. Women tend to be (excuse the word) dramatic.
STELLA: Do men like public display affection?
DANIEL: A man who is dating a woman and is proud of her does like public display of affection. He wants people to know this is mine without appearing to be trying so hard.
STELLA: Does the woman have the right to feel the same way?
DANIEL: Yes, every one in that relationship has a right to feel that way. You don’t have to be rude to other people for people to see. You shouldn’t be ashamed to hold your person is public. Men like PDA but not to the point where you make other people uncomfortable. It is not everyone your woman is talking to that she has something with. Some women can be so possessive that they become nags.
STELLA: Does the woman have the right to know her man’s password?
DANIEL: If you’re married why should you have a password? Every couple should have access to each other’s phones. I don’t think any man or woman should go snooping around their spouse’s phones. If there’s trust, why should you be snooping? Unless the person has given you a reason to. Sometimes there are innocent messages that people can interprete wrongly. People misinterpret stuff but there should be no issue with passwords.
STELLA: There’s this popular thing men always say. You know me better than anyone else so you know these questions aren’t from me. Men always say they need space. How do you know when to give him space?
DANIEL: Sometimes all these bottled up emotions have a way of erupting. A woman who knows her husband well and if their a couple who communicate, you can sense when he wants to talk. When a guy doesn’t want to discuss something with you at a point in time, don’t force it. When women want to talk, they really want to talk. You should be able to read the man and know when he wants to speak. I always advice women, let the man have a life away from home.
STELLA: What do you mean by that?
DANIEL: Most women don’t want their men to have lives outside of the home. A lot of women do that but you need to give your man a space to become a boy again. If you don’t let him have a life, he’ll bottle all those emotions and he’ll erupt someday. If all does is spend time at home, he’ll breakdown and wont want to listen
STELLA: How come men go out to look for call wife material but when they go out there they look for the sexy seductress?
DANIEL: A man who is looking for Mother Theresa as a ife is probably a man who has plans from the start. If you want an all in one package, look for that. Marriage is like you having DirectTv, they give you different plans based on what you like.
STELLA: So do all men have to cheat because they know all women don’t have what they need?
DANIEL: Not all men plan to cheat. Based on your question, that is a man who has married a wife for the sole purpose
STELLA: Whenever I talk about sex, it’s always IN THE MARRIAGE people. Do men like women to initiate sex regularly?
DANIEL: A lot of men I’ve spoken to do like the idea of women initiating sex. When you’re with your wife, you want to feel the love and know that she craves you and wants you”Sex is a 2 way thing, the man gives, the woman takes. The woman gives, the man takes. If a woman refuses to be adventurous and the guy becomes bored. He’ll look for it somewhere else. Men love sex. There is nothing wrong with women being adventurous. There are 50 shades of grey adventurous and normal adventurous.
STELLA: Some men can’t phantom their thought of women being adventurous?
DANIEL: Everything boils down to how the marriage started.I read something where they said couples should even schedule sex. It may sound disgusting but they said it’s better than a sexless life. Most of the best conversations happen after sex. Sex is one of the quickest ways to make your man happy. Some years ago someone said his wife shouldn’t give him oral sex and then use those lips to kiss his kids.
STELLA: In a few words, how do you think men want to be treated by women?
DANIEL: Every woman should understand the man they are married to or dating is still a kid at heart. Most women fail to see that’No man wants a woman to come and be the husband in the house. Most men play by the womens rules and then when marriage comes, it changes to their rules. When you’re coming into it. Lay your cards on the table, save 10% for yourself and when you’re in it, give 100%. There are rules there that some men play by and once they get what they want, their out. That’s why I can sit here with you today because I’ve been through it.

Pastor Adeboye condemns homosexual practice, says it’s against natural order


The General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye has openly condemned homosexuality, saying it is an immoral act and against the will of God.

The Pastor who made his position known via a Facebook post said he was in a particular country and the misconception was that he hates Homosexuals. He however said that he does not hate any human being, but that it was wrong for a man to be married to a fellow man instead of the normal practice of man and woman as instituted by God.

Adeboye said that the problem is that the natural order of procreation instituted by God may be expunged if the practice continues.

Don’t Abandon Nollywood –RMD Tells Buhari


Actor-turned-politician, Richard Mofe Damijo, has called on the incoming president, Buhari to set up a special tribunal to handle cases of piracy in the Nollywood industry.

He made the call, yesterday, during the first public presentation of a new movie entitled Oloibiri at Silverbird Cinemas, Abuja. The movie, produced by Rightangle Productions is an action thriller mirroring fear, dread and international exploration and governmental responsibility as well as the unseen benefits of desperate hope of the aggrieved militants in the oil rich Niger Delta region of Nigeria.

Damijo who emphasized on the need for government to consider the call to ensure that offenders are prosecuted when they are found guilty and meant to pay for the damages, noted that the “existing laws are good but what is needed to add is maybe setting up special tribunal to handle cases of piracy and step up the punishment or compensation for piracy because right now it is too low and insignificant. “The body of the law is okay, the problem is in the policing and making sure that offenders are prosecuted when they are found guilty they pay damages.”
 “Though, my work is not to protect the movie from being pirated, somebody has that job. The regulator should ensure that all creative works of Nollywood are protected and we earn money from it. I am not going to stand here to legislate on the kind of movie film makers will do, I am just privileged to be part of the one that is topical now; just to entertain people and make them think as a people and amount of work that could be done.

Grieved Man In An Open Letter, Points Finger At GEJ For Killing His Pregnant Daughter


A mourner, Mr Ojo Babafemi Andrews, has written an open letter to Nigeria’s outgoing president, Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, accusing him of ‘killing’ his pregnant daughter.
Here is an excerpt of the tragic letter from Naij publication below:
The outgoing president Goodluck Jonathan has by the virtue of his empowering miscreants who go by the name Oodua Peoples Congress (OPC) sent me and my family into a deep mourning since last Wednesday. The president by the unconstitutional empowerment of the ethnic militia which has through their clashes with pipeline vandals killed so many innocent Nigerians particularly in Arepo area of Ogun State.
My daughter, Oluwadamilola Adebimpe Fajana -Née Ojo was killed in cross fire while driving back home after a hard day job. Damilola was a 26 years old pregnant lawyer. She was a graduate of the University of Ado Ekiti (EKSU). President Jonathan is linked to her the death by the reason of his patronage of people who have no basic training in arms and weaponry in the business of pipeline protection, which is a very dangerous security enterprise supposed to fall under the purview of the trained Nigerian security agencies.
President Goodluck Jonathan is culpable of the death of Damilola Fajana and that of others by the virtue of his morbid desperation for political power which led him to awarding thus senseless contract of his to OPC in return for political support in Lagos State.
He is equally guilty of my daughter’s death by his withdrawing the trained security personnel, the police, the army and the civil defense corps from doing their constitutional duties of protecting Nigerian people and their properties and replacing them with untrained miscreants by the name of OPC.
President Jonathan’s hands are soiled by the blood of my daughter by his promoting ethnic militias groups which rubbished our established security system and allow armed thugs and touts to go after pipeline vandals in a high density civilian area in an unorganized manner. He has by this shown that he has lost confidence in the Nigerian security system.
Jonathan’s actions and inactions has directly led to the death of Mrs Oluwadimilola Fajana Née Ojo and many other innocent Nigerians who were lawful and obedient people going about their lawful businesses.
My take on this is that President Jonathan has openly displayed an undying hunger for political powers but pretending to be meek and humble, but thank God that Nigerians have not failed in seeing this by voting him out in the last month presidential election.
It is my hope that the incoming General Buahari’s administration, will revoke this obnoxious and misplaced pipeline contract, and restore peace and normalcy back to Arepo and it’s environment.
This can only be done by returning the Nigerian security agencies back to the area. This will stop the current bloodletting and unnecessary blood shedding of innocent Nigerians, just because a desperate man like Dr Jonathan wants to win elections.
By this, the death of my pregnant daughter Mrs Damilola Fajana Née Ojo, my unborn grandchild, and that of others will not go unsung.
It is my hope also that the Ogun State government, will institute a probe panel into this notorious and inhuman killing and maiming of innocent Nigerians resident in Ogun State all in the name of protecting petrol pipe lines.
As for Dr Jonathan, I will not curse but will not also pray but all I will say is that God will judge him accordingly if his decision of arming ethnic militias has done more harm to the Nigerian people than good. And to his co-travelers in the business of looting and killing Nigerians in the name of protecting pipelines, may peace and hamony be strangers in their homes just like they did to my home over the avoidable killing of my meek and promising daughter whose light they extinguished in her prime.
May the good Lord grant Barrister Damilola Adebimpe Fajana Née Ojo and other innocent Nigerians who were victims of President Jonathan and his OPC killer contractors eternal rest and our families the fortitude to bear the loss.
Signed
Mr Ojo Babafemi Andrews.
Ado Ekiti.

Africa’s Richest Man, Aliko Dangote, Wants To Buy Arsenal FC


Africa’s richest man has admitted that he still wants to buy Arsenal, despite failing with a bid to buy the club in 2010.

Nigerian commodities businessman Aliko Dangote is worth an estimated $15.7billion (£10.38bn), far in excessofcurrentArsenalmajorityshareholderStanKroenke (£3.7bn) and minority owner Alisher Usmanov (£9.65bn).
“I still hope, one day at the right price, that I’ll buy the team,” Dangote told Bloomberg.
“I might buy it, not at a ridiculous price but a price that the owners won’t want to resist. I know my strategy.”
Arsenal are currently valued at just shy of £1bn, £988m, and look on course to finish in second in the Premier League this season.

If a deal ever did go through, Dangote would become the first African owner of a Premier League club.

Dangote has previously stated that Arsene Wenger “needs to change his style a bit”.

Checkout some hilarious memes of what Rihanna wore to the MET Gala


Of course we were awaiting this moment patiently for when one of the celebrities would goof with what they choose to wear to the MET gala and since Fashion icon and founder of Fashion Police, the late Joan Rivers cannot do justice as she was known best for, the internet has decided to do that for us with these memes.
The target- Rihanna.
Since the award/event season kicked off, Rihanna’s choice of clothing has been questionable. First it was the Grammys when she donned on a full pink gown that had no fitting whatsoever. Now, for the china-themed event, she wore a huge bright yellow gown in the semblance of the queen’s cape.
Trust trolls to reign on her parade. See the memes for yourself.

Chibok girls sold off, married by Boko Haram chiefs, says rescued woman


Will the Chibok girls ever return home? The question yesterday became more pertinent when one of the women rescued from the Sambisa Forest told Reuters at the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camp in Yola, Adamawa State that finding them could be difficult.

Aisha Abbas, a 45-year-old mother of two, said the girls might have been sold off or married to top sect members as promised by Boko Haram leader Abubakar Shekau.

According to Reuters, none of the women interviewed saw any of the Chibok girls, but Abbas said fighters who travelled from a camp in Sambisa where they were held to source food would describe the situation.
They said the Chibok girls were married off this year. Some sold to slavery, then others (militants) each married two or four of the girls,” Mrs. Abbas said.
Mrs Abbas, who was taken from Dikwa, Borno State in April, speaking on the weapons situation with the militants, said the fighters all had guns at first but recently, only some carried them.

Of the 275 freed captives brought to a government-run camp for internally displaced people in the Malkohi hamlet on the outskirts of Adamawa State capital, Yola, only 61 were over 18, and many small children hobbled around, visibly malnourished.
Relieving their experience in the forest, the women said they were kept inside, occasionally brought food and sometimes beaten severely. The children were left to run around or do errands for Boko Haram while those of the fighters were trained to shoot guns.
“One evening in April, Boko Haram followers stood before us and said ‘Our leaders don’t want to give us enough fuel and guns and now the soldiers are encroaching on us in Sambisa. We will leave you.’” one of the women, 18-year old Binta Ibrahim from northern Adamawa State said.
“They threatened us but after they went we were happy and prayed the soldiers would come and save us.”
